The Avcanada COVID Employment Poll

[digits_]

I am wondering how the COVID stuff is affecting the AvCanada population. And we haven't had a poll about this. Polls are cool.

Code: Select all

 I am laid off, or expect to be laid off, do not expect to return and have not found a new job yet. I hope to find a temporary non-pilot job and return to a pilot job ASAP

Well shoot, I thought I covered all options!

Close! Felt like I was checking NOTAMS.

I answered with what I copied. I think that's the closest to my situation and represents the spirit of the poll.

I will be laid off. I will get a temporary non-aviation job. I want to return to my pilot job (recall).

Wow you really have to RTFQ here.

Was laid off from instructing job but looks like I’ll be back in early June.

[BigQ]

Laid off, working on side business this summer and hoping to return / expecting a return to previous job in the Fall

[LifeAt90Kts]

Laid off, found a temp flying contract, fingers crossed for a return to my previous job in the fall!

[Caterpillar]

Quit my job in february, was starting a new pilot job, which got cancelled. Hoping to find a pilot job.

[GoinVertical]

Should put an two options for the still-employed:

Still working at my job at full pay.

Still working at my job at reduced MMG or pay.

Ouch! Air Canada??

Here's my unique situation, not really covered in the poll: Currently still receiving full paycheques (albeit small, as I am an instructor) from my company, yet our school is shutdown at the moment.

I am essentially not working, other than on a few small projects such as editing and improving ground schools. I really appreciate how they've treated myself and coworkers throughout this.

That sucks

Chances are you'd have been laid off anyways if you'd stayed, if that is any consolation...

[trey kule]

Maybe whoever did this, should do it again, and we will see if the results have changed

[North Shore]

Fortunate to still be working when so many are not; upgraded into LHS a month ago..

[Ash Ketchum]

I'm planning on going back to grad school and leaving flying for good unless I get recalled within the next 6 months.

[trey kule]

I should have taken a screen shot of the old poll for comparison., hope someone did and will post it

['97 Tercel]

Between the PM and Covid we might be all screwed anyway.

(ie. flying is evil: you'll catch covid and create a giant carbon footprint)

[ayseven]

For Ash Ketchum: go to Grad School anyways. You can always go back flying if you really want to. I always wonder what would have been had I gone back after grad school, but alas, I did just fine out of aviation, and 1000% certain that I made more money than I would have in aviation. YMMV, obviously, but aviation always had me one step away from the poorhouse.
